Pell City duo commits

Pell City High School defensive lineman Lenny Harrell has committed to play football at Jacksonville State University, Pell City head coach Jay Brown told News Prep Editor Jeff Sentell earlier this month.

Harrell, a 5-foot-11, 240-pound defensive end, recorded 105 tackles, including 18 for a loss, and 11 sacks as a senior. He chose the Gamecocks over recruiting interest from Alabama State, Tuskegee and Ouachita Baptist of Arkadelphia, Ark.

"He was a three-year starter for us and a team captain," Brown said. "He's just a heck of a player."

Brown also said Pell City quarterback Elliot Wilson would sign a Division II scholarship with Ouachita Baptist.

Wilson, who is 6-3 and 180 pounds, passed for 1,652 yards and 16 touchdowns while also rushing for 732 yards and nine scores.
